Cath, she stands
With a well intentioned man
But she can't relax
With his hands on the small of her back
As the flash bulbs burst
She holds a smile
Someone will hold the crying child

And everybody asks what became of you
Your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do

Cath, it seems
That you live in a dying dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
On the arm of a man you detest

But you said your vows
And you closed the door
On so many men
Who would have loved you more

And everybody asks what became of you
Your heart was dying fast
And you didn't know what to do

And whispers that it won't last
Were running down the pews
Because my heart was dying that fast
I would have done the same as you
I would have done the same as you
